Ever read to counsel and guide us, Dean Merick, retirjzzg in fzme, N49, fbe refjv bert friend we have af .9fllZ1lI07IJ'. From the students' point of View the administration of the business of Simmons College is a formidable job done with admi- rable suavity, and this over-all impression is created only because of the individuals Who are the Officers of Administration. We must say good-by this June to Dean Jane Louise Mesick, Who has announced her retirement after tvventy-live years in office. Oflicially Miss Mesick is Dean, but unoflicially to every girl with trouble or triumph she is friend and counselor. Miss Mesick's ab- sence vvill be keenly felt. Before President Bancroft Beat- ley came to Simmons in 1932 he was associate professor of educa- tion in the Graduate School of Education of Harvard University. This superioracademicbackground combined with his understanding, as a parent and a teacher, of stu- dent life makes President Beatley's M1', Bafcbelder watcher one ret of baokr mm' our libmrimzr another.
